It is only 34f outside tonight but I couldn't bring myself to make pizzas in the oven. They are just so much better cooked in my "brick oven". You can't beat pizza done in a ceramic cooker with natural hardwood lump charcoal.

I fired the Big Green Egg up to 500f and did one for the boys with mini-pepperoni, Canadian bacon, and mushrooms.Then Alexis and I made one for us with Italian sausage, Canadian Bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, yellow bell peppers, garlic, and thin sliced onions.It was just a quickie dinner tonight but it was damn awesome, some of the best pizza I've ever put in my mouth. But I say that every time I eat pizza from the Egg.

It is posts like this Chris, that make me want to splurge and buy and egg. I am super jealous. That pizza looks amazing! If you feel like buying a new egg, I can take the old one off your hands. It is no problem.

Both the pizzas look gorgeous and I bet the crust is out of this world! I love making pizza at home, so much better than take-out. I like that you can dream up all kinds of toppings and use up whatever you have on hand to. Great job.

I agree - I don't have an egg but it's hard to beat pizza on the grill and the extra flavors it imparts. Your's look outstanding. Snow skiing got me over cold weather concerns. If I was willing to take a 15 minutes ride on an open chair in zero degree weather and blowing snow, I should be willing to do about anything.:)

I've been thinking about getting an egg for a while now...but I have NO CLUE as to what to do with it! I thought I could only roast weenies on it! Do you use charcoal brickettes (or whatever they're called) and liquid-squirt-on-lighter-fluid? My dad had a grill when I was growing up and that's how he started everything - but it takes so long for the brickettes to turn "ashen" and how do you manage the heat?!?! Does the egg come with instructions for remedial minds? Your pizza may just have sold me on the egg! xo, Nan

It's 34 degrees out and you choose to cook outside in your underwear! OK, I probably (maybe??) made the underwear part up, because I wanted to find a dramatic way to say... man you must of been cold. GREG
